A hand-driven ferry for a handful of pedestrians. Not sure if they take bikes.

A cable ferry, incomparably wonderful, if a bit expensive (nowadays)

A very nice hiking trail along the eastern shore. With beautiful views of the water and opportunities to walk along the water.

A nice campsite. But: the lake has lost about 2 meters of water. The beach, however, isn't so bad. There's pleasant sand for swimming.

These are landscapes from the Ice Age, forming beautiful bays. Unfortunately, they are slowly drying up due to the oscillating water.

The bridge also crosses the national border. Water no longer flows here. Too dry, rather a sad sight.
